Bimala $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am Bimala, originally from Nepal with a background in teaching and more than four years of hands-on babysitting experience with mainly infants and toddlers, I provide more than supervision- I offer engaging educational avtivities, and enchantment of storytelling. Comfortable with light cooking and household tasks, I create a safe and stimulating environment. Moreover, the best part of being a babysitter is earning while doing things that I love, like spending time with kids, teaching them new words, and helping them with overall development.

Harleen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Harleen. I’m 23 and graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in Psychology. I currently work full time as a case manager during the weekdays and babysit on weekends. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, when I started caring for my cousins who were 5, 7, and 12. I’ve also been on UrbanSitter for the past two years and have had the opportunity to work with many different families and children. This has given me experience with different ages, personalities, routines, and family preferences. I also have experience as a behavioral interventionist working with children on the autism spectrum. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, and I really enjoy spending time with kids through play, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and helping with their routines. I’m currently looking for occasional weekend or evening babysitting opportunities.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
